During a brutal study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr Kurt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could stay in the water. On average, they gave up and drowned after 15 minutes. But just before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers took them out, dried them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and returned them for a second round. In the second attempt - how long do you think they lasted? Another 15 minutes? 10 minutes? 5 minutes? No! 60 hours! It's not a mistake. That's right! 60 hours of swimming. It was concluded that because the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be saved, they could keep their bodies on the water beyond what was previously thought impossible. I will leave you with this thought: If hope can make exhausted rats swim for so long, what can faith in yourself and your abilities do for you. As long as a man does not give up, he is stronger than his destiny!
